George William Curtis, the Mug
wump editor of Hdrper's Weeklv, who
did so much to defeat Blaine in 1884
has been seen and interviewed bv the
New York special to the Cincinnati
Commercial in reference to the next
Presidential election. The great Mug
wump leader is still enthusiastic in his
support of Cleveland, but thinks that
though he will be renominated he will
not be reelected, as the Democratic
leader were opposed to him. He thinks
sherman a square man, but not as Dol.
ular as Blaine. The latter he was af
raid would be renOminated, and if re-
nominated he would be elected on ac-
count of the hostility against Cleveland
IN his own party. He did not see who
there was to take Cleveland's place, as
Thurman was too old and not ambi-
tious. Bayard has made no appreciable
gain on the public mind, and McDous
aid was not now associated with the
ambition. 1t was for want of material
that he thought the Democratic party
not want to ignore Cleveland.

Three Loves.
BY W. p. NJ.

low the very name Ot mother,
Thrills MS with euuiiunS pure,
She's our first and dearest lover,
OF her love we're always sure.
When all around is cold and dreary,
And we wander, seeking rest,
How we long to lay our weary
Head upon our motherS breast.
Then there is friendships noble fire,
All 1t is a kindly love,
1t doth lead us upward, higher,
Nearer to the realms above.
To noble acts it doth guide us,
Actions kind as well as brave.
And for such it will provide us,
With reward beyond the grave.
The last is unlike the others,
IL is one l can't describe,
Not like mothers, not like brothers,
Yet to both il is allied.
1t is to what all men aspire,
'Tis the object of this life
To the few that may inquire.
I'll answer; 40 lis love of Wife"

The Peach Basket Again.


Mr.. EDITOR:-I do not wish to in
trude or weary the patience of the
public, but the action of the New York
Exchange would make the most stolid
speak. Not satisfied with stealing the
peach basket, but must make raid
on the berry crate. What impudence,
what unblushing rascality has a spirit
of madness seized the whole fraternity?
Must the fruit grower wait week after
week the decision of their Lordships? ?
Fruit growers, let us rise as one man
and eXpel the invaders of our rights
let US seek worthy men to handle our
fruit. They can be found.
am satisfied a cheaper crate can be
made. The style of the present crate
seems to me unwieldy. Falling back
on my former idea, think paper crates
of different construction could he made
to answer the purpose at one half the
price. There is no doubt about quart
and gallon baskets being made for less
money. IfG. II. Gillette, Of New York.
would take this in consideration as
well as the paper basket, quite lively
trade could be done.
Very Respectfully,
THOMAS SHAW.
Kenton, DEL, April 18th, 1887.
The Inter State commerce regulation
for railroads is already creating great
dissatisfaction. The general tendency
is to higher rates of fare. es ,ecially for
long hauls. This must result in higher
prices for the neceSSaries of life. What
ever additional has to De paid for the
transportation of -four and beef from
the West and semi-trOpical fruit from
the South must be borne by the people.
Already -four is higher, beef is going up,
aud oranges have almost gone beyond
the reach of the people of moderate
means. Wherever heard from trouble
is ensuing from the working of the law
or rather from the Interpretation the
railroad companies have put upon the
law. From Harrisburg comes the news
that the Chesapeake Nail Works have
already suspended, and other iron in
dustries are contemplating the same
thing. In Reading the manufacturers
are alarmed and are curtailing their
operations until it is seen whether any
modification of the Interpretation of the
law will be made. From every section
come complaints of the working of the
law, and unless the Interstate Com
missiOners intespOse there will be dan
ger of widespread panic.
